One thing that Lost has never failed us on has been season finales, and this first part was (to use a phrase I hate) a hum-dinger.
Most of us probably didn’t expect to see the rescue of the Oceanic Six until the very last episode, and I wish it had been more of a surprise (damn those trailers!).
So they are trying to confuse us I think, by having some of the Oceanic Six on the boat already and the others on the island. How do they all end up together, and what happens to those that don’t make it out on the dingy (if what we see in the ‘fisherman’s photo’ is to be believed)? All part of the mystery.

So then, Cabin Fever. The Cabin. The place we have glimpsed a spooky eye, we have seen the outline and white sneakers of Christian Shepherd, and have generally been scared of since we first saw it in Season 3. A place where we were all hoping to find the answers.
Unfortunately, we didn’t really get any, did we? I think what Cabin Fever suffers from the most is that it just doesn’t seem to add up to the sum of it’s parts. Read the rest of this entry » »
Here’s the ABC promo for the first part of a 3 part season finale. Looks great!
Take a look at the promo for “Cabin Fever”. Some minor spoilers.
I don’t know about you, but just having the word ‘Cabin’ in the title was enough to get me excited. I do love mythology episodes, and this looks set to be a great one.
Well then, that was…ok? Yes, ok is a good word for it. I think with so many Jack-centric episodes, they just seem a little bland at times. With him essentially being the main character of the show, and the fact we know he survives to leave the island, there didn’t seem to be too much point to the surgery.
But still, I was actually pleased to see Jack and Kate playing happy families. It didn’t take me long to figure out where these scenes slotted into the overall timeline, obviously the scenes we see in the Season 3 finale happen after this episode, and we get to see what starts the breakdown of Jack.
For those that are not that observant, we have switched over to using Wordpress for our front page. This should mean the front page will get updated with news much more often, as it’s idiot-proof enough for me to use on a regular basis!
Do bear with us as we iron out the template kinks, but on the whole it’s looking good.
Due to the effect of the Writers Strike, the ‘lost’ hours will be placed as 1 extra episode each into seasons 5 and 6 of Lost.

With the good news that Lost will be receiving an extra episode this year to bring the total of Seasion 4 to 14 hours - there’s the bad news that the return will be delayed by 7 days for Sky viewers.
According to Sky Programme Information, Lost will return on May 4th, which will means UK viewers will be two episodes behind the American viewings until the two hour season finale (May 29th, US - June 1st, UK) where they will make the extra week up with a double episode finale.
